Status: No sale
A Federal- and Sheraton-inspired mahogany-toned overmantel wall mirror, executed with a classical broken-arch pediment and restrained inlay. The crest presents a central scroll-and-foliate inlaid reserve set within a triangular tympanum, surmounted at the shoulders by pair of gilt-toned pinecone finials. Below, a broad frieze is enriched with a continuous Greek key (meander) inlay, a motif closely associated with Neoclassical decorative vocabulary. The rectangular mirror plate is housed within a molded surround, flanked by channel-fluted pilasters that read as simplified columns, and finished with a projecting base rail; the warm, figured surface suggests veneered construction typical of decorative revival mirrors intended for mantel or pier placement. Suitable as an architectural accent above a fireplace, sideboard, or console table. Size: 40 x 44"
